     A few days ago I FTP'd some demos with the extension .ZAP from
ab20 and uhccux.uhcc.hawaii.edu.  (The demos are MentalHangover.ZAP
and C64Music.ZAP.)  I also got a file, zap141.lzh, from ab20.
Un-lharc'ing the zap141.lzh file produces a 5K .DOC file, as well as
a 5K executable.  The executable seems to work, telling me "about to
write to df0:, press return."  I press return and wait, while the
screen flashes in blue.  After a minute or so, the computer either
completely crashes or guru's.  The command I use is
zap w MentalHangover.ZAP
when both zap and MentalHangover are in ram:.  (I have a single disk
drive only.)  It looks as if it should work, but zap crashes no matter
what I pull.  Could anybody please tell me what I'm doing wrong, because
I'm just about at the end of my rope.  (I have an A500 with 512K chip,
512K fast, and only the internal drive.)
